CMS Hiring For Airborne Mid-Level Mechanical Engineer/Project Engineer at Severn, MD Full Time

We are the Innovative Aerospace Division, a quickly growing business within the Rapid Solutions Sector of Jacobs.  We lead the design and development of next generation air, ground processing, and space payloads. We have the corporate investment, infrastructure, subject matter experts, and strategic focus to enable you to be successful as you grow in your career.

Overview
If you are a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer who enjoys a challenging and dynamic environment where your contributions to a small team are both critical and valued, this company will provide you the tools and opportunity to flourish (and have fun while you’re at it).
Candidate would have a mid-level technical role to research, design, develop, analyze, and test a variety of mechanical systems for the military aerospace industry. The successful candidate would focus on mechanical design, structural analysis, thermal and packaging considerations, ISR systems integration, aerodynamics, CFD, composite materials, airworthiness, wind tunnel analysis, manufacturing readiness, and flight testing with consultation from other engineering disciplines.  
Candidate may also be asked to manage a small group of junior mechanical engineers with responsibility of managing resources, developing/improving engineering processes, assigning work prioritization, organizing training, interviewing and recommending new mechanical engineers, and potentially serving as the direct supervisor for a few junior engineers.
It is expected that this role is approximately 85% technical and 15% managerial.

Responsibilities
Helps to manage engineering requirements for the AgilePod development programs, resources and activities. Develops and recommends engineering processes and procedures consistent with company objectives. Manages group’s assets, hardware and software, and any of the other related programs or systems within the AgilePod engineering group. Coordinates with program manager, the lead engineer, and company leadership on engineering related topics and issues with the AgilePod development and production. Communicates with company personnel on projects, priorities, timetables and budgets as required. Interacts with customers, partners, subcontractors, and other vendors as needed. Helps develop short term and long-term goals for the AgilePod engineering team.
The mechanical engineering group is a high performing team with a breadth of experience in mechanical design, electronics manufacturing, electronics packaging, structural and thermal analysis.  The mid-level mechanical engineer will perform the following:

•    Help lead design, analysis, and test of mechanical components and assemblies for airborne systems.
•    Help lead the design and integration of airborne sensor systems, package and integrate electronics assemblies, enclosures, and chassis for air and space ISR systems and military applications utilizing a number of drawing, analysis, and computational tools.
•    Aid and assist in thermal performance optimization, structural performance, material compatibility, and reliability utilizing engineering analysis and optimization techniques.
•    Develop plans and aid in the execution of verification and risk reduction utilizing a combination of engineering analysis and environmental testing (Thermomechanical, Shock/vibe, humidity, other fatigue tests, and overstress testing).
•    Recommend design paths based on analysis results. These recommendations include items such as material selection, dynamic and modal analysis refinements, and manufacturing and assembly techniques.
•    Assess systems to identify key failure modes and recommend analysis to validate design decisions.
•    Assist with and review fatigue and life cycle analysis engineering and assessments.
•    Develop and conduct testing to validate engineering analysis models.
•    Review partner designs and help qualify complex tooling to facilitate composite component fabrication and assembly.
•    Participate in product design reviews to provide input on functional requirements, product designs, schedules, or potential problems.
•    Assist in creating cost estimates (ROMs), conceptual ideation, and other business development related activities for potential customers.
•    Occasionally support field integration of systems for missions
